It's sad how more and more people ignore non-mouse-or-touch-oriented users in their UIs. What about damn old keyboard support? Even if I modify input, nothing changes in UI. I'm not even mentioning such things as being able to easily navigate through days and months using arrow keys... Nice-looking UI -/-> Good UI And even more: Nice-looking UI -/-> Good UX

Or even file a bug about it. https://github.com/dangrossman/bootstrap-daterangepicker/issues/1 https://github.com/dangrossman/bootstrap-daterangepicker/iss...

I have to do a ton of clicking to get to last year. It would be much faster to be able to type in arbitrary dates, too, and have the calendars update to reflect those new dates. And when I altered the date text in the editable field (the one you click to drop down the calendars), they did not honor my change; to be consistent, that field should also be readonly.

  To add to this... http://filamentgroup.com/lab/date_range_picker_using_jquery_ui_16_and_jquery_ui_css_framework/ http://filamentgroup.com/lab/date_range_picker_using_jquery_... Same one? Seems to have a slick interface that does not require an apply button, does provide ranges and customizable range options, although it does not have easy keyboard input either.

  I really like the year navigation pick in this one: http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-datepicker/ http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-datepicker/ Maybe it could just improve on it? they look the same ;)

    Wow, that component's approach is a nice idea. That component ALSO handles keyboard changes to the date.

    That's actually the same UI as the Windows 7 date/time picker :)

      I don't know about him, but that's no coincidence here. I was staring at the Win7 taskbar calendar while figuring out how to generate calendars for arbitrary months/years, and how to show the overlap from previous/future months. Add the Bootstrap table and button styles, and you end up with what you see.

"This is a great looking timepicker. One thing that I would love to see added is better keyboard support: for instance when modifying input by keyboard it would be nice to see the UI update, it would also be nice to be able to navigate through days and months using arrow keys." It doesn't hurt to be friendly, you know.

  Sure. I was simply put off, because of all these appraisals and lack of sober evaluation. Mea culpa.
